Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its potent projection and intense, warm spicy and oud accords make it less suitable for office wear, where it could overwhelm. This is a scent built for evening engagements and intimate dates, though its rich character could also suit formal events.

About

Arabian Passion opens with a warm, spicy kick of saffron and cardamom, immediately setting a plush, inviting tone. The heart unfurls with a rich, velvety rose, expertly woven with earthy patchouli and the subtly smoky, resinous whisper of frankincense. As it settles, a smooth, nuanced oud emerges, complemented by creamy amber, creating a deep, resonant base that lingers for hours. It’s an opulent, exotic tapestry of scent that demands attention.
